Carnival Opens Bookings on Cruises from Galveston for 2025-2026

There’s no time like the present to go ahead and make your 2025-2026 cruise plans! Carnival Cruise Line has opened bookings for May 2025-April 2026 voyages on Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream, and Carnival Jubilee from Galveston, Texas. The cruise line has also announced it will homeport Carnival Legend in Galveston starting in October 2025. 

“Galveston is one of our most popular homeports, and the addition of Carnival Jubilee brings not only an all-new cruise experience and increased capacity – it also gives us the opportunity to freshen our offerings for the other popular ships homeported there, Carnival Dream and Carnival Breeze,” said Fred Stein, Carnival’s vice president of revenue planning and deployment. “Building on our strong portfolio of options out of Texas will give our guests in that region great new options as they look ahead and plan for their future vacations.”

Here’s a rundown of the itineraries these three ships will offer from Galveston for 2025-2026.
